Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I came up against an interesting dilemma earlier. I was doing some PvP and noticed another group of players displaying a significantly offensive guild name (in this particular case, profanity and sexism). I’m not trying to be a morality policeman, but it seemed significant enough to report.

Is there a correct way to do that?

Thanks.

Sorry…answer is a qualified no.

The game checks guild names at creation and if they pass that built in filter then they are assumed ok. Having said that there will always be ways around the filter if someone wants to make the effort…or use obscure languages.

Reporting is kind of ‘hit or miss’ too, because names can be subjective. If you really wanted to you could try reporting individual guild members for ‘offensive language’…but may be better to try reporting though the ‘support’ route rather than ingame, as you have more scope to detail your concern.

Umh. Guilds have been removed from the game when they had offensive names or tags. There is no actual option to report it, but latest advise I saw was to report ‘inappropriate name’. Some have taken screenshots and sent them to support, though I have no clue if that is a good idea or not.

ANet has said that sending a ticket from the forum is the best way to report a guild with an offensive name. source

You are able to report offensive guild names, file out a violation report here:

(Note that the report is completely anonymous and does not require you to log in.)

Please make sure you spell the offensive guild correctly, including the tag.

Wrong! Many offensive names can get through the filter with very little effort.
